~So.... A Kidnapping?~
"Man.... yet ANOTHER kidnapping! Who or what is seriously doing this?!"
The young man spoke. Ryujin Takashi. His green cosmetic eye shone bright. A great spark from it. He was ready. The eye's targeting process started. His brown eye just simply glassed over. Telling that his use of sight would be his green for the moment. He ran. Jumping and sliding on various vegetation. As he came to the river he felt the moistness in the air rise. Literally, welcome to the jungle. He performed a great set of acrobatics. He performed a sort of angled triangle jump from the side of the large riverbed, then from an angled branch from a tall part of the jungle canopy, then, he landed on a single stump. This stump was about 5 feet long outside the water. He stood as he heard a large...demonic cackle.
"How are you, Gaki? Feeling like a hero today? Off to save yet ANOTHER damsel? Come now, why must you be the savior of the weak, and not the reaper for the strong? It gets incredibly boring you know?"The beast spoke with a matter-of-factly tone. Like a sort of way to....annoy the living daylights out of Ryujin. A slight, annoyed growl came from the vessel. Ryu literally jumped and used another branch as a spring board. The young man aimed himself towards the other side of the river. He heard a faint scream from the northwest. It sounded like a young female. Ryu used the momentum he got from the spring jump to begin to run at his top speed. He leapt over the sorts of vegetation. Roots, criss crossed on the ground. Various moss patches. And many small ditches.
"Ok....It seems to be a sort of...cabin."
The young man stood at the top of a small bowel shaped indent in the ground. The cabin in the middle. He could only plainly stare. His green eye sparked. His scope looking closer to the door of the cabin. It seemed to be splintering. Wood. The young jin ran hard. The wispy grass on the ground, now flapping in the wind. The man ran ridiculously hard. He took a hard leap, right leg first towards the door. A fast bust down happened. A man behind the door, now covered in splinters. The room was filled with 4 bandits and the target, the female. The splintered bandit, now bleeding a bit, struggled to get up. The room in awe. To the jin's right side, a broom. He grabbed the broom, and broke it in half. Two splintering stakes. Able to kill. The splintered man now hobbling to the back. The jin simply threw the broom part at the man's heart. A green gleam when it happened. The stake was perfectly rigt under the shoulder blade at an angle towards the heart. A perfect shot. Blood gushed as the man fell, dead near instantaneously. The bandits, now in even more shock, decided to horde the shinobi. This made the shinobi to counteract their movements. The first bandit, stabbed with a swift dodge to a stake stab counter. The next bandit, coming in with a punch had the punch caught. The shinobi used his fast hands to piston punch the bandit. In about 45 seconds the bandit's face was covered in heavy bruises and bumps. Thus the next bandit came with a swift round house kick to be blocked with his own crew-mate. This caused more pain for the bruised bandit. The final bandit came in trying to stab the shinobi, causing his friend to get stabbed. The ninja kicked off the bandit's back, knocking him towards the blade slash. Severing the man's head. The jet of blood squirted in the punching bandit's eyes. Causing him to have to wipe the blood from them. This let the jin come in with a hard slide kick. The kick towards the swordsmen's elbow. Flinging the blade at the bloodied bandit. The blade pinned the bandit to the wall by the belly. At the same time the shinobi got the now sword-less bandit in a hard lock involving the his legs wrapping around the swordsmen's neck. He used a quick roll to snap the man's neck. The man fell fast. Causing the shinobi to jump off. He only stared at the single bandit. Pinned by a wall. He gripped the blade's handle.
"So, do you regret what you did? You should."
"Please! Don't do it! I beg you! I do reget it!"The bandit began to tear up. Soft as a marshmallow. It was sad to see the man break down like this. He could only sigh as he heard the beast.
"Well well well Gaki! Already stacking bodies. How about you let me join this beginning massacre. I will turn it into a Holocaust. Greh HA HA HA!" Another morbid joke. This joke caused the jin to snap. He began by ripping the blade from the man's gullet. He had a deranged look on his eyes. He slashed the man's face. A huge cut in it. To the cheekbone. He hacked the hands and feet clean off. The blade began to blunt a bit. But not before he ripped the stomach stab and stretched it. Opening the man like a bag. He then ripped out the man's heart, and shoved it down the man's throat. Making it look like an Adam's apple. This was true overkill. The target stunned by this brutality. It seemed that the beast is ready to expand. Causing this brutal rage. He hasn't reached his one tailed form yet. Shame really. Soo much power able to be held. Soo much....rage! The female spoke.
T-thank you....I g-gladly appreciate your....er....help...."The jinchuuriki looked over with a smile as he untied her. He knew how scarred she was. He seemed to have lost his cool. The first time that happened since learning his parent's disability. He pointed to the outside. She nodded, climbing on his back. He ran. Hard and at a constant speed. He tried to keep a steady course as to not have her vomit. He got to the village about...an hour later. The mother, at the gate. She was nearly beyond the point of fainted. As the shinobi put the girl down, the woman near instantly hugged the living shit out of the girl. The girl hugged her mom back, thus causing her mom to nearly faint again. The shinobi caught her however. To make sure she and her daughter were safe. He could only smile softly. Looking at how happy the two were. He wished he had that. Shame he didn't. He usually trained alone as he got older. He neglected to spend time with his father before he passed away. Shame. These feelings coming back right now... He has to push on for him. He will use his pain to become truly indestructible. He sort of zoned out by this point. The Nanabi already looking into the boy's thoughts. Already noticing a hint of sorrow. A set bit of remorse for the docile beast. The cruelness the beast showed was actually a shell to push the boy away. The way a turtle uses it as a defense. Quite Ironic how the Turtle slowly is climbing out the shell. The armored defense of his natural nature. Shame. The man began to sub-consciously walk toward's the kage's office to turn this mission. He saw various shops. Various people. Different things that fill space in the word. All parts of his life, everybody's lives. A strange thought. A world truly connected world. One of no wars... One of no hurt.....mistakes...only growth....only power....The Nanabi was tempting the youth one last time to test the boy's resolve. The way the boy responded to this, quite harshly.
"So Gaki, solved another caper? Another B rank? Are you feeling powerful yet? ALL BECAUSE OF ME YOU TWIT! Grah ha ha! You are so useless. Come, let me use your body as a puppet. Let my knowledge fill your mind and you have no more will to it. Lets destroy together, like true villains! Like true madmen!""Shut the hell up you fucktard! You want me to be crazy? YOU MADE ME CRAZY! YOU MADE ME LOSE MY FATHER! YOU MADE ME HAVE TO SHARE WITH YOU! YOU FREAKING LOWLIFE! I just want....to strangle the shit out of you, strip you of your shell, and use it as a stew bowel. You scum..."Yes. The boy has passed the test. But a complex seems to have picked up. A dark set of remorse and rage. Yeah..the boy was losing his path. The Beast wouldn't stand to see this young shinobi falter, so he will let up a bit. Not acting distant, but just not trying to confront the boy. Ryujin needs to find his path, and fast. If not, it could be disaster. A shame for the supposed lucky jin. Now at the Kage's office door, the youth seemed to have blacked out. That being a first. He stepped into the doors, and sighed softly. Ready to turn his mission in.
